Last week out my back window, in all it's golden glory.

Just a few days later we got our first winter storm here in the highlands. Still beautiful, just different.  With the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers being finished off the inside of the house is also transitioning from autumn to advent. I have absolutely loved watching the view change here and am embracing this new season wholeheartedly.

I am ready. 

Pumpkins from the Farm

Visiting the pumpkin patch was a regular occurence this fall since the farm rotated the fields making pumpkins very accessible to us.  There were some varieties we have never seen before which were rather wart-y.  A couple weeks ago they began to harvest.  The crates came in and every evening there were fewer pumpkins as they were trucked off to the seasonal sale patch. They saved us several so tomorrow is the big day finally to decorate.
